Hi, this is Yuyujin.
Today’s topics is “When” in Japanese.
Let’s get started.
The basic patter of “When” in Japanese is as follows.
A Toki B
(Aとき、B)
“B at A.” or “When A , B.”
“Toki(とき)” means timing.
A is phrase or sentence.
Here A is an explanation of timing.
We can use sentence and “Noun + No(の) ” expression.
I introduced the expression to qualify noun with “No(の)” on this page.
B is a main sentence.
